Episode 8242 was broadcast on 2 April 2024, as part of Series 89.

Mark Mills played Anthony Noonan, with Anthony Noonan winning 88 – 43. The Dictionary Corner guest was Pam Ayres, and the lexicographer was Susie Dent.

NOTE 1: In Round 6, Mills did not specify whether he got 833 or 855 – he only mentioned he was 11 away.

NOTE 2: In Round 10, Rachel Riley misspelt Noonan's word as surity ☓ on the letters board – this was later corrected on Channel 4's on demand service.
